OK, I will give another try with the open source driver to test
suspendand hibernate.

OK. I am running Xgl/beryl/Gnome, and all seems to be running fine The

(direct rendering reports "no" since I am running Xgl. If I am at Xorg
it reports yes. That is reported to be normal).
my xorg.conf file is attached.
I can run the above commands at Xorg/Metacity/Gnome if you wish.

AFAIK, vbetool also notifies the monitor to go to sleep mode. When I say
it is crashing I mean I get logs like this:
Jan 22 22:44:12 mobtux kernel: [ 52.992634] vbetool[3920]: segfault at
000000000000342f rip 00000000004246a4 rsp 00007fffbddc4240 error 4
This means to me that it has not been well tested and I understand that
the 64bit version is not as popular as the 32 bit version.
